eyes lips face

e.l.f. Review!

e.l.f. Matte Eyeshadows - $1 each (pearl and mint)

I love the packaging of these eyeshadows as well as the price! I haven't tried either of them yet but based on my swatches, I noticed they don't blend very well (but that is not a big deal for me). I won't yay or nay them just yet but I'm excited to try them out!

e.l.f. Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths - $1
Photobucket
These makeup remover cleansing wipes are excellent. They moisturize my face so well, smell pretty good, and it actually took off my mascara pretty well too! (I normally find I need a waterproof resistant makeup remover to take my mascara off at the end of the day/night.) This is a definite bargain buy for anyone looking for cheap (in price, not quality) remover wipes.

e.l.f. Stipple Brush - $3

This brush is amazing! I love the way it feels on my skin, it buffs my foundation perfectly, and more importantly it doesn't shed which is a major plus in my book considering how cheap the price was! It's also easy to clean! I absolutely recommend this brush to anyone who is interested.

Okay, now it's time for the bad. (Hey, you can't win em all!)

e.l.f. Exact Lash Mascara - $1
Photobucket
This mascara was terrible! I thought it would be perfect for my lashes since they're so tiny but I was horribly mistaken. The small wand did NOTHING for my lashes and actually made them super clumpy. Bleh. Do not want.

e.l.f. Eyelid Primer - $1
Photobucket
This primer was a complete waste. I was better off not putting anything on at all because my eyeshadow had creased before I even got to my destination. I know it's hot but damn! Also the primer itself was way too shimmery to be used under anything. Good thing I still have my Urban Decay primer because this stuff? Thumbs down!

Also, the shipping process took WAY too long. By the time I got everything I had forgotten I had even ordered from them. Guess that's what happens with $1.98 shipping.

Until next time, loves!

Celebrity Inspiration

I think it's safe to say that, no matter who are, your style changes all the time. I can look back on my blog and see quite a change in my style from clothes to hair and even makeup! One thing is for sure, I always look for inspiration in EVERYTHING! Magazines and blogs make it easy to follow celebrity styles so, of course, that's my biggest resource. I've been particularly wrapped  up in what June Ambrose and Julia Sarr-Jamois have been wearing. They just look so casual but bright and fun!
